Background

In 2012, my wife and I helped a 2 year old, recently at the time blinded by a bomb. He lived in a very poor village in norther Laos. First, we found a team of surgeons in Bangkok to reconstruct his face and nose, remove shrapnel from his eyes. We lived in Laos and there was no such care for him. Second, he placed him in a blind foundation facility, who was willing to take him (as a foreigner) in Thailand. He's lived there since 2014. There are issues with his foundation taking care of him, so we want to transfer him to a well-known and well-establlshed blind school in Khon Kaen, Thailand. Founded in the 1980s.

Since that time, we just moved to Khon Kaen. As his sponsors, we will assume responsibility for him during the school breaks. We pick him in early May to live at our home for a week or two, and he will stay with us during the regular schools breaks, e.g., holidays and summer breaks.

The boy Kayeng speaks only Thai. We speak only English (and are about ready to learn Thai).

We want Kayeng to learn English. We will start when we pick him up in early May.

Need

We want to find ways of teaching blind Kayeng English. Are there AudioGames.net progarms that can help him learn English. What kind of computer do we need?

Certainly your game sounds interesting and there will be a lot of people here very happy to try it. We also have several French speakers who would be glad to help with a translation as well. If you've got something playable please post in the new releases room, or otherwise if you just want to discuss matters please post in general game discussion.

You'll find some interesting things here since the majority of games discussed here are based on sound or accessible to screen reading programs used by blind and visually impared people, so are a different experience to graphical games, ---- a good friend of mine said Shades of doom, the audio doom clone was actually far more scary than the original due to the lack of sound.

~Don't forget to check out the database of games on the front of site, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

@DerekLomas, we'd be extremely glad to help with access in games, but could you please create an account and register properly so that I can unrestrict your account and then you can post about your games in the general game discussion part of our forum, where your likely to get more of a response.

Hi! I'm interested in how to best redesign a set of educational games to make them more accessible. This seems like a really hard challenge so I was excited to see that there is an online community here!

Hello everyone. I'm Joan. I came to this community to understand some things I have questions about. I am sighted, but I have several blind friends. I want to be as active in this community as I can.
